Posted on October 24, 2011 by Katty

The Future Sound of London is a high profile British electronic music band made up of Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans. The duo is always recognized with pushing the limitations of electronic music experimentation and of groundbreaking a new era of dance music. Cobain and Dougans have worked separately before but it was with Future Sound of London that both really earned their reputation. Along with the journey of dance music productions, are the successful releases of their albums.

The album “Accelerator” which was released in 1991 is simply exceptional. It is a lot more “dance-floor” oriented. The classic single “Papua New Guinea” is featured in this album which is extensively considered as one of the best dance records of all times. Accelerator is an appropriate title for this uninterrupted fusion of rhythmically powered tracks.

An intelligent creation of FSOL is the album “Lifeforms” which was released 1994. This album is darkly introspective and exciting. Growing ahead of the florid environmental techno of their former Accelerator and the hit single “Papua New Guinea”, Lifeforms focuses on Future Sound of London’s scrupulous creation of minimal. For many years it still stands out as one main example of mood altering music.

Future Sound of London released their fourth album in 1996. It was titled “Dead Cities”. They managed to create a musical adventure quite unlike anything else. Following-up Lifeforms, they offered choices for a much darker urban nightmare theme. FSOL are absolutely renowned innovators and can be considered as the genre’s leading example.

The Future Sound of London really shared a lot of their classic creations. Different interpretations of dance music have been showcased by them. Furthermore, they have flaunted their composition in an intelligent yet capturing manner that the dance music fans could still keep up.
